Digital Bug Archetype Revealed! – Shining Victories

Konami’s official website has revealed cards for the new Digital Bug archetype in Shining Victories.

The main focus of Digital Bugs seems to be changing monsters of the field to defense position, this can be used to change your opponents monsters or on your own monsters. If this effect is used on your own monsters to change them to defense position they can easily summon a rank 3 Xyz monster. The Digital Bug monsters that you use for an Xyz summon also give the Xyz monster an additional effect depending on the monsters used.

The Digital Bug xyz monsters can detach 2 xyz materials and then Rank Up or Xyz Evolve into a higher rank monster. This helps you by ranking up into and stronger monster and also gaining a different effect for the situation.
